RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Comment 2 Fabiano Fidêncio 2020-08-11 13:36:31 UTC 
Abhishekh,

I'm assuming the customer is using RHEL 8.2, thus they have osinfo-db-20200203-1.el8.noarch installed. Would be possible to confirm that?

In any case, let me provide you a workaround for the issue.

If the customer is using virt-install command line, they can simply add to the command line used something like:

OEL
===
For OEL 8.1: `--os-variant rhel8.1`
For OEL 8.2: `--os-variant rhel8.2`

This approach will work as OEL is basically a clone of RHEL the same version RHEL, thus the os-variant trick would be enough.

Ubuntu
======
For Ubuntu: `--os-variant 19.10`

This approach will work as using the latest entry on osinfo-db is a good enough approximation.

The customer can take a similar approach and select those values via virt-manager UI when selecting which OS they'll install.


I know this issue was raised against 8.2, but it's been partially solved for 8.3 (we have the latest Ubuntu added there, but we don't have the latest OEL, so the workaround would still have to be used).
